00:00:02
president Trump keeps his promise to get
00:00:03
wokeness out of the United States armed
00:00:05
forces as he signs multiple executive
00:00:08
orders to reshape the military senior
00:00:10
White House correspondent Peter Ducey
00:00:11
has all the details hey Peter good
00:00:14
morning and standing here it feels like
00:00:15
it's been more than a week in a day
00:00:17
since president Trump was sworn in
00:00:19
because so far and we've got a graphic
00:00:22
here he signed 38 executive orders uh
00:00:25
and he signed them in the Oval Office
00:00:28
and in florid
00:00:30
the latest ones came last night and what
00:00:33
they do is reinstate troops who refused
00:00:35
the covid vaccine about 8,000 people
00:00:38
devel somebody says I'll keep you
00:00:39
updated on how the back pay works for
00:00:41
soldiers that got kicked out for not
00:00:42
getting the vaccine I was one of
00:00:47
them let me
00:00:51
see yeah maybe May yeah maybe we'll have
00:00:54
to come back and check into that that
00:00:56
was probably the craziest surprise I
00:00:58
didn't expect that to happen at all
00:01:01
American Iron Dome missile defense
00:01:04
system like what they have in Israel
00:01:06
formulate a new policy on transgender
00:01:08
troops that is up to Pete heet the
00:01:10
Secretary of Defense to figure out uh
00:01:12
how that's going to work and then ban
00:01:14
Dei initiatives in the
00:01:17
military I'll be signing four new
00:01:20
executive orders first is that I'm
00:01:22
directing our new secretary of defense
00:01:24
Pete heg said he's what we need to
00:01:27
immediately begin the construction of a
00:01:29
state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile
00:01:30
defense Shield which will be able to
00:01:33
protect Americans you see that with
00:01:35
Israel we're out of 319 Rockets they
00:01:38
knock down just about every one of them
00:01:41
so I think the United States is entitled
00:01:43
to that and everything will be made
00:01:44
right here in the USA 100% yep and the
00:01:47
Trump cabinet is growing his treasury
00:01:49
secretary was easily confirmed last
00:01:51
night Scott Besson got 68 the new wall I
00:01:55
I don't really think that like
00:01:56
personally I don't I feel like the
00:01:58
reason
00:02:00
I
00:02:01
mean like we're going to put it like
00:02:03
between like us and Canada or us in
00:02:05
Mexico like I I don't know if it's
00:02:07
really worth it to do that I mean it
00:02:09
seems like it's not but I don't know
00:02:12
oats Sean Duffy for transportation is
00:02:14
expected to get bipartisan support as
00:02:16
well later on today nothing public on
00:02:19
President Trump's schedule that we have
00:02:20
seen but he is planning to send his
00:02:22
press secretary Carolina levit out to
00:02:24
the briefing room for her first
00:02:26
appearance there back to you well it'll
00:02:29
be historic hey Peter uh going back to
00:02:31
when you were talking about how uh
00:02:33
Donald Trump revoked the Biden policy
00:02:35
allowing trans people to serve in the
00:02:37
armed forces the number of trans people
00:02:41
in the armed services right now I know
00:02:43
there was an NIH
00:02:45
study done like five years ago at
00:02:48
8,000 who knows how many there are there
00:02:51
are today uh what are what's going to
00:02:54
happen to those people probably get
00:02:55
discharged right it sounds like uh once
00:02:58
Pete Heath comes up with the new policy
00:03:00
they are going to be discharged and it's
00:03:02
not essentially what the argument is in
00:03:04
the fact sheet that we were given about
00:03:06
that executive order president Trump
00:03:08
does not think that transgender people
00:03:10
are physically or mentally stable enough
00:03:13
to serve in the armed forces and they
00:03:15
specifically cite Readiness with
00:03:17
transition surgeries if you have a
00:03:20
transition surgery the recovery time and
00:03:24
the narcotics that you have to be on as
00:03:26
part of the process could affect your
00:03:29
readiness for up to 12 months they say
00:03:32
that is what their concern is so if
00:03:34
there's a Readiness concern I feel like
00:03:36
if that's a concern that's totally
00:03:38
different like from my perspective I
00:03:40
don't really see a problem with somebody
00:03:42
being trans if they're in the military
00:03:43
as long as they can do the
00:03:45
job that that that's my opinion but like
00:03:48
if there's some sort of like specific
00:03:49
thing that has to I don't know a lot
00:03:51
about trans surgery personally so I
00:03:54
can't really comment on whether that's a
00:03:56
good or a bad thing
00:04:01
uh you're basically booted from the
00:04:03
military gotcha all right thank so w for
00:04:08
Pete to get the job but they certainly
00:04:10
gotten wokness out of the military Dei
00:04:12
is going to be history they're going to
00:04:14
enforce it uh and good by Dei among
00:04:16
Veterans Affairs too 60 Dei employees
00:04:19
over at Veterans Affairs uh with
00:04:21
salaries totaling more than $8 million
00:04:23
we told they're done there's no need if
00:04:26
you talk about cutting they're cutting
00:04:28
the EI programs uh everywhere but
00:04:31
especially in the military and I thought
00:04:32
Pete would said something interesting on
00:04:34
the steps yesterday and I'm going to
00:04:35
enforce it to make sure you're not going
00:04:37
around me but when it comes to the
00:04:39
Tuskegee Airmen they thought that that
00:04:41
was a little uh that was passive
00:04:43
aggressive we're going to cut that off
00:04:45
because that's Dei no it isn't it's a
00:04:47
fantastic military story about uh the
00:04:50
first black fighter
00:04:54
pilot it was intentionally cut to try to
00:04:59
um cut the knees out of this
00:05:01
Administration to make Pete seem like a
00:05:04
racist make the president the whole
00:05:06
point of this the skegee Aran is their
00:05:08
Merit and acknowledging their Merit I'm
00:05:11
just glad that we finally got a pentagon
00:05:13
that is worried about metrics and the
00:05:16
metrics have to be can you do the oour
00:05:19
can you do the job are you lethal enough
00:05:21
can you go after the enemy do you have
00:05:22
the Mental Cap you know somebody says
00:05:24
veteran here being undeployable due to
00:05:26
medical reasons is a huge detriment the
00:05:28
military has a problem with mign
00:05:30
uh mingering uh which is people either
00:05:32
being faking chronically sick so
00:05:34
everybody has to pick up the slap or
00:05:36
even deploy back to
00:05:40
back I mean I I could see that happening
00:05:42
yeah for sure of course that logically
00:05:44
makes
00:05:46
sense I just don't know how much time
00:05:48
that it would take to for like trans
00:05:50
surgeries something like that at all I
00:05:52
have no idea capacity to decipher the
00:05:55
Enemy versus friend that's all I want I
00:05:58
don't care about getting women in I
00:06:00
don't care about getting diversity
00:06:02
numbers in I want to be feared by the
00:06:05
world I think that should be the focus I
00:06:07
mean like if anything is coming at the
00:06:09
expense of that then it's a
00:06:11
problem I mean the military doesn't
00:06:13
exist for representation it exists to
00:06:16
serve a goal and so if it's not serving
00:06:17
that goal then it's a problem you know
00:06:20
like I I I I obviously right I mean of
00:06:23
course fin we have people in there
00:06:24
that's willing to do that defense he
00:06:27
also signed an executive order saying if
00:06:29
you lost your military career and 8,000
00:06:32
people did because they refused to have
00:06:33
the vaccine yeah um then you could be
00:06:36
reinstated with back pay so we
00:06:38
interviewed Lieutenant Colonel Douglas
00:06:40
hay served our country in the Army he
00:06:43
was two years away from retirement and
00:06:46
he said he resigned from the military
00:06:48
when they were forcing him to do this he
00:06:49
didn't want to say I'm going to claim an
00:06:51
exemption like a religious exemption
00:06:53
because he said that wasn't true so
00:06:56
because they were kicking him out he
00:06:57
just said he resigned so he's not sure
00:06:59
he's eligible for the reinstatement but
00:07:01
this is what he said about Donald Trump
00:07:03
and what he went through I think um me
00:07:06
like many others were ecstatic about it
00:07:09
at the idea the potential to uh to
00:07:11
rejoin the service you know I spent uh
00:07:14
18 years on active duty Service uh it
00:07:17
was my career my entire adulthood uh and
00:07:20
and I you know I lost that and now
00:07:23
there's the potential to regain it now
00:07:24
so very
00:07:26
appreciative um I'm thankful uh that
00:07:29
president Trump made these uh made these
00:07:31
promises early on and is is now
00:07:33
following through with them so I didn't
00:07:35
want to get the yeah I think that the
00:07:36
back pay in everything and the
00:07:38
reinstating like that to me really
00:07:40
seemed like a shock I didn't expect that
00:07:42
to happen at all I didn't even know that
00:07:44
was on the uh on the
00:07:47
table I mean it was I made it clear
00:07:50
early on in my um you know before the
00:07:52
Mandate actually to my leadership that I
00:07:54
was not planning to get it uh once once
00:07:57
it was mandated I I didn't I told him I
00:08:00
wasn't going to and I submitted my
00:08:02
resignation me personally I love the
00:08:04
idea of going back to I feel like if
00:08:06
it's documented that he left because of
00:08:08
that I I I feel like he should get the
00:08:11
back pay for sure because like if
00:08:13
there's documented communication then
00:08:15
yeah 100% he
00:08:16
should service it's what I'm passionate
00:08:19
about he was an officer let me just say
00:08:22
one one thing if that's okay uh this is
00:08:24
what he did for our country officer in
00:08:26
the Army completed Airborne School
00:08:27
Ranger school served as an infantry off
00:08:29
officer Communications officer two
00:08:31
deployments to Iraq one in Kuwait and
00:08:33
then rejoined as a drilling reservist
00:08:35
when that mandate was finally dropped so
00:08:37
I hope he is eligible I hope they do
00:08:40
casee by case basis if you retired or
00:08:42
you resigned because of that mandate
00:08:44
then hopefully you can go back and serve
00:08:46
and get that back PID right I just like
00:08:48
to add this before we move on from
00:08:49
defense president brought it up in every
00:08:51
speech and no one ever reported it
00:08:52
because they were more into finding
00:08:54
something controversial about his
00:08:56
campaign remarks but he says I'm going
00:08:57
to I sign a an executive order to start
00:09:00
building the Iron Dome for this country
00:09:02
missile defense now to keep up with the
00:09:04
next hypersonics and everything to make
00:09:05
sure it's not outdated it's going to
00:09:07
need constant Improvement but he said I
00:09:09
watched what was happening with Israel I
00:09:11
saw them knock down all those missiles
00:09:12
with coming from Iran I've seen it
00:09:14
happen regularly what's happening in
00:09:16
Ukraine why don't we have it in our
00:09:18
country so it's going to cost something
00:09:19
like $250 billion do Congress has got a
00:09:21
green say you're putting fellow soldiers
00:09:23
at risk if you refuse a vaccine what's
00:09:24
he going to
00:09:25
refuse I mean I've said the same thing
00:09:27
about the covid vaccine that said the
00:09:29
whole time is that I'm not a
00:09:35
scientist uh so like you don't need to
00:09:37
convince me one way or
00:09:40
another uh like I I I can't justify it I
00:09:44
can't justify not doing
00:09:47
it sorry
00:09:50
yeah yeah I I I'm not really an expert
00:09:53
in this I have no
00:09:57
idea it but he wants work to start right
00:09:59
away in this country would not want
00:10:02
missile defense especially with icbms
00:10:05
being shot by North Korea how does it
00:10:07
make sense that we don't have a shield
00:10:09
Rumsfeld talked about it and they said
00:10:11
you're crazy the technology is not there
00:10:13
uh he was not crazy he was right with
00:10:14
the concept but I think we're there and
00:10:17
I like to I don't know how you get you
00:10:18
guard a country this
00:10:21
big putting him ination of seems like a
00:10:24
mistake we got to get with these drones
00:10:27
I mean we got to figure out how able to
00:10:30
fly um who they are I want technology I
00:10:34
want rni into that as
00:10:36
well let's see if there's any more of
00:10:38
this so president Trump signing four new
00:10:40
military focused executive orders
00:10:43
including one that calls to remove Dei
00:10:46
in the military and another Banning
00:10:49
transgender guy talking okay and in a
00:10:52
little while I'll be Shing four new
00:10:54
executive orders first is that I'm
00:10:56
directing our new secretary of defense
00:10:58
Pete hget who's going to be great by the
00:11:00
way we will get transgender ideology the
00:11:04
hell out of our military it's going to
00:11:05
be gone in addition we will stop our
00:11:08
service members from being indoctrinated
00:11:10
with radical left ideologies such as
00:11:12
critical race Theory so Medal of Honor
00:11:16
recipient Staff Sergeant David belivia
00:11:18
joins us now uh thanks for getting up
00:11:20
this morning
00:11:22
David thank you appreciate you so
00:11:24
obviously we're excited to have Pete hex
00:11:26
at the Secretary of Defense uh secretary
00:11:29
what do you make of these new changes
00:11:31
getting rid of the Dei focused on the
00:11:35
mission plan which is to defeat the
00:11:37
enemy Lawrence if you know the cliche is
00:11:40
War as hell I can't even I can't even
00:11:44
tell you how devastating Joe Biden and
00:11:47
Democrats have been to the dod knowingly
00:11:50
gutting our ethos who we are making us
00:11:54
try to think about whether or not we're
00:11:56
the bad guy or the good guy uh you know
00:11:59
we talk about this transgender ban this
00:12:01
isn't a transgender ban this is clearly
00:12:04
stating that if you cannot deploy and
00:12:07
fight then we don't want you in the
00:12:10
military which is I think that making an
00:12:12
argument like that is a lot stronger I
00:12:14
think that really what's happened and
00:12:16
like this is something that I know that
00:12:18
a lot of people in like my my audience
00:12:20
like you know I I have like I have a
00:12:22
pretty broad spectrum of people that
00:12:24
watch me and so a lot of people are like
00:12:27
anti on transgender stuff I I'm really
00:12:29
not super anti-transgender to be totally
00:12:31
honest I'm not but I do think that
00:12:34
because of the over representation that
00:12:36
happened in like the last five or 10
00:12:38
years I think that people are
00:12:40
overreacting and I think that they
00:12:42
are I I think that they're they're going
00:12:45
a lot farther than what they would have
00:12:47
normally gone because of what happened
00:12:49
with transgender in like the past five
00:12:51
years I think that's just really what it
00:12:53
was over representation yeah I think
00:12:55
that's what a lot of people is that an
00:12:56
accurate word word that a lot of people
00:12:58
would describe it by
00:13:01
I I I think that that's probably the
00:13:02
that's the word that I would
00:13:04
use yeah
00:13:09
sure of saying to our Pilots if you
00:13:12
can't see we don't want you behind the
00:13:14
Yoke of an F-16 Charlie we don't want
00:13:17
you on an F22 uh transgender uh U
00:13:20
soldiers right now whether you're on
00:13:23
hormones or you're non- Deployable for
00:13:25
36 months after a a a a transition
00:13:29
surgery well who are you fighting for
00:13:31
what do you do are you there for you or
00:13:34
are you there for your country and your
00:13:36
teammates this is all about taking the
00:13:38
selfishness out of serving your country
00:13:41
and reminding people it's all about the
00:13:42
community it's all about the team it's
00:13:45
all about the country and I'm ashamed
00:13:47
yeah yeah it's not about individual
00:13:49
person like it's it's important that the
00:13:51
military functions not that the military
00:13:53
uh includes everybody right I mean
00:13:55
that's obviously true that's the true
00:13:58
with that that's true anything that it
00:13:59
took executive orders to remind the
00:14:02
greatest military in the world who we
00:14:04
are and what we what we do it's so
00:14:06
incredible I mean you just laid it out
00:14:08
perfectly about what the standards
00:14:10
should be and it shouldn't be no
00:14:12
difference based on what box you check
00:14:15
uh here's secretary hex is going to take
00:14:17
some getting used to laying out the
00:14:19
major plan watch today there are more
00:14:22
executive off uh executive orders coming
00:14:24
that we fully support on removing Dei uh
00:14:28
inside the p on our job is lethality and
00:14:32
Readiness and War fighting we're going
00:14:35
to hold people
00:14:36
accountable I mean he wrote a book
00:14:38
[ __ ] obvious right major
00:14:42
changes yeah I mean really that book is
00:14:44
the better Rock of of what uh I mean if
00:14:47
you want to know where where the 29th
00:14:48
Secretary of of Defense stands it's all
00:14:51
in in black and white but but I mean the
00:14:53
key again is that the Chinese the
00:14:55
Russians Iran Isis Al-Qaeda right when
00:15:00
we when we go to the
00:15:02
battlefield I don't think Isis cares as
00:15:05
much about Dei as we do that's yeah I I
